The fabric combinations you can put together are endless - go for full rainbow, neutral colour-block or pattern clash perfection. You can even keep your top more subtle by using the same plain fabric for all pieces and letting the design lines sing for themselves.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">If a classic t-shirt is more up your street, there's also a cut-on-the-fold front bodice (View 2), making construction even quicker and simpler for those just starting on their knit-fabric sewing adventure.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">With a more relaxed fit through the bodice and a very gentle dropped shoulder/grown-on sleeve, both views include cut lines for a classic length t-shirt bodice as well as a long-line hem length.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Then, depending on your season, keep the cuffed grown-on short sleeves or use the ease Turn & Hem long-sleeved pattern piece for year-round comfort.</p><p><br style="text-align: left;" /></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-emmie-tee/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisDCEIUaKJygK0LGtZJRj4RAyDlqlX5e_iJ0Yuarvk2DRXQR8XYiTZBUjwEtXuHoAlrHzYXZknisCpo4-P7S4zbLKPuMXRPFoQz39e0FLxHAJo_FI46HShSBrdjGwMA7jkewlcpqnbd61Q9Q4RSfihjlzIQD_-p3LPZ54brTU4COyr_SGLpyZ31T1V/w480-h640/Emmie-Pink-Annabel_WEB17.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-emmie-tee/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPcIIQjZSSGr4N1FOq5ROva5W_b4pFxQrA48yioYQm5XBRvCVYIM2jVU_--ZOBNMF4JUPnn-ommn2FXvTq-SfmJ0E-nrIpZZUXMwA8abG31Nxw7_32pKms-qg4D70SDKkF0sJwK8zm_AnJlZDvZEX3sBDx_iJ4jqu-P16N3upgND8QpXVzbwG6jfbI/w480-h640/Emmie-Long_WEB19.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-emmie-tee/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij0hrJjLit7TXMnvpr_oyt3oKgDSAhjfv-Z_lQVUg6Np1CncN35ZGChYcraCZSc2QrOEni954sRHO38zaHBTgfslO7LkMI6jqjAJgru25Uh1AgFCRnFeMPlAomwOO34us4NbXm4WVg3GtJYIbSntpIK-6CObM3OYJNKLt5w0jYGOdycJK3h3mk8mz8/w480-h640/Emmie-Stripe-Annabel_WEB3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><h2><span style="text-align: left;">Multiple Cup Sizes - A to F</span></h2><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-emmie-tee/" target="_blank">The Emmie Tee</a> includes both the <a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/size-guide/" target="_blank">Original and Curve sizes</a>, spanning from a 6A/B cup all the way up to a 34E/F cup.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Depending on the size range you choose and your cup size, Emmie can have zero to positive ease at the bust, along with positive ease through the waist. A lightly shaped but relaxed t-shirt, Emmie looks great tucked into bottoms or worn out.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Included in the instructions are a detailed set of Finished Garment Measurements, meaning you're able to compare these to a similar garment that you currently like the fit of, or know you want to adjust. This takes much of the guess work out of making Emmie, before you've even cut anything out.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Annabel wear a Curve 24C/D cup, graded to a 26 waist and hip. Jen wears a 10C cup - you can read more about us on the <a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-emmie-tee/" target="_blank">pattern listing page</a>.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><br /></p><h2>Skill Level</h2><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Emmie is designed for knit-fabric beginners through to advanced seamstresses. If you've never sewn with knits before, Emmie is the perfect project to dip your toes into the wonderful world of knits.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Get creative with piecing together different knit fabrics or make the plain t-shirt - both are quick makes with techniques including sewing on a neckline binding, attaching cuffs to the short sleeves, and attaching long sleeves with hems.</p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-emmie-tee/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0s9sYgOC16bl3nvre3jsgsKngZ4bLvBDWe0XI9qp7sIu01ovxgOuQq7no2HmOLn7WJ-4mqYNrJzNP-uZzYR9BRYdJPLuORPluJLC_d9aAJytyQMSMcBei_NqymGJ4MbriSYzUHGag6N-bK-h3Gx9Ck66P-UcsmGstPmUTnoGmAqJjA98YsJuKb5AG/w480-h640/Emmie-Blue-Annabel_WEB1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-emmie-tee/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTRU9gCFVLbtHeCVjL15rj1W0Qi6YUkRVumbyrZ45IfYz3kf7QSMUaU5eraWGkp8_F8kk8QPGujddwhO2-XOIrPHExkSHM3xgv9h0lEPX0JchBhVq6BGFJYmr4N8wjGRobswhcKDgFfkDmAx0ZwDlxUD12YUZq1VRt7GZFiDENWvyvteDFqyEPw8j4/w480-h640/Emmie-White_WEB6.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><h2>Fabric Suggestions</h2><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Look for light to medium weight fabrics (around 180GSM). Fabric should have good stretched across the grain, approximately 40% with good recovery. Cotton/elastane (spandex/lycra) blends are the best choice for a breathable and easy-care garment that is comfortable and fits well.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">All variations can be made with the same fabric as the body, or rummage in your knit-stash for contrasting colour and pattern blocking potential.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">If using multiple fabrics, try to keep these the same weight and composition for a uniformly finished tee.</p></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Long tines give the option of a dramatic front or side bow, and these lengths are easily adjusted for your own personal preferences - making them shorter for a less showy bow, or longer to give the option for tying in the back.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are no additional closures needed for your skirts - the underside tie is threaded through a buttonhole made on your sewing machine, which makes for a quick and easy sew, with no extra fuss.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no need to fear windy days either, as the back overlaps almost side seam to side seam on both skirts.

Paying particular attention to the back bodice angle (this can be easily stretched).</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Techniques such as fully lining a bodice, set-in side seam pockets and being patient while your skirt hangs overnight, are all skills that will be built upon during your Jade Wrap Dress construction.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Princess seams and dart shaping are also techniques that are included, as well as optional top-stitching.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p></div><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-jade-wrap-dress/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDo0rKUgon6XXm94IfECyjP1zFaL0V7JD4szvOtB1zidMR3Q-kpeCUyEF5FaduiSwE2Yyc03f2MVOjPhRiPUPimLhNqadJH24W-vTM1knPbiZAHmks5MHaBMnaxL-10HNVdqhEPKrmrgTN4bNPrCDLABZi0zQpIH8VkTRYwjISNQQr-CdQHfg67g7q/w534-h640/Jade_Original_15WEB.jpg" width="534" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-jade-wrap-dress/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqeHwslti-bI2f1YKrN0ifSvnGdUvTkFa58H0ta2SaSQvNt9ZCCSvKi7-XHYH7UlpY8hSF4R6myS8vdOivYNizg7vrPEJ-r1VqF2alNJ2gxiyI6XSh4kAc2wFa3vsnZD3pXEbrBC-H6-xWY1jN7Bdbj2U_O7k4Wy4mcDCBY_L79YpDfaHh7nyyJqr7/w534-h640/Jade_Curve-Annabel_11WEB.jpg" width="534" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><br /></h2><h2 style="text-align: center;">Fabric Suggestions</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Jade is suitable for mid-weight woven fabrics with some drape.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Linen, chambray and denim are lovely and easy to work with. Broiderie anglaise, seersucker, jacquard, tencel and sateen also work very well for summer Jade dresses.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Mid-weight wool, suiting, flannels and pinwale cord also make an excellent heavier weight garment for cooler climes.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Choose lightweight linings such as lawn and voile, or use the same fabric as the main garment if using a lighter weight cloth. Synthetic linings can also be used.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Annabel's Jade Dress is made from a mid-weight linen with a loose weave, making is swing and drape beautifully.

A gentle rounded neckline and in-seam pockets are paired with a pretty A-line shaped skirt, falling to just below the knee.</p><p><br /></p><p>Plenty of ease is included at the waist and hips, and an optional step is included at the end to add elastic into the back waist seam, to help keep gathers even underneath the ties during wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kinfolk evokes the best part of breezy summer gatherings in the woods. Make Kinfolk in light linen or broidery anglaise and your sorted for midsummer nights around the bonfire at the beach. Equally, made up in light denim or chambray styled with sneakers and you're ready to hit the pavement for weekend outings with your own kinfolk.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-kinfolk-dress/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLAwVFH5Hjj9nbHO4tDVnKZqkOXG6EUOwLilT9PY1i0JFYiudlGPUkSR9xhOwK-K6GH36KG4xccfw7CuwxcvWUT6tf_9XxNx1KHKjAKbLTOQCeOPM8qmcKRUNOoDavYmqwIFfUj2VxIesL6L582aW-zAMWPQiGCPX_j1sxA8iPI56Mms0KLCw2MN-B/w480-h640/Kinfolk-Dress_JLH-Curve_5WEB.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Multiple Cup Sizes - A to F</span></h2><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-kinfolk-dress/" target="_blank">The Kinfolk Dress</a> includes both the <a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/size-guide/" target="_blank">Original and Curve sizes</a>, spanning from a 6A cup (bust 75cm or 29 1/2") all the way up to a 34F cup (156.5cm or 61 5/8").</p><p><br /></p><p>Included in the instructions are a detailed set of Finished Garment Measurements, meaning you're able to compare these to a similar garment that you currently like the fit of, or know you want to adjust.

Build confidence with techniques such as gathering skirts, sewing in darts, and stay-stitching along the back bodice angle to keep it (and your necklines) from stretching out during construction.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the button at the back makes you a little hesitant, you don't need to make it functional. The neckline is wide enough to slip over the head, meaning you can permanently sew it closed with a few hand-stitches (and pop a faux button on top). You could even use a vintage brooch or go punk with safety pins!</p><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Fabric Suggestions</h2><p><br /></p><p>Isla is suitable for a wide range of light to medium-weight woven fabrics with some drape.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cotton lawn, voile and poplin to linen, tencel, light chambray or denim, as well as double gauze, sateen and seersucker are easy to sew with and wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rayon, silks, crepes and other slinky fabrics also work well, but be mindful of the weight of the back neckline closure you use, as it could cause sagging without enough fabric structure to hold it up. In that case, a hidden snap button or a few invisible hand-stitches could be best,</p><p><br /></p><p>Tatenda's pink spot Isla is a linen-cotton blend. Jen wears Isla in a slub-y linen-cotton blend (that was a nightmare to iron after washing, so I just went with it, wrinkles and all).</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-isla-wrap-dress/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="351" data-original-width="1000" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhklZ8HuLGjomnYQfMe5ScpNBbEFo8zVaeOfXGBZcKos-VwWPjymNxQXjRrGZ5c-1tV3FPgepV6o2s23GTVaE2z0nnztBKMWwtnMJfb33wJXPllK_8Zg1_rgEfIPqd3A4Wbrrn8TTh2TPNvharXb2w-V_iVaQex2K9cf7Jh6jT-4n3jnztvAYt0Wpmz/w640-h224/JLH-Isla-Button_blog.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: left;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-isla-wrap-dress/" target="_blank">Purchase Isla Here</a></span></h1><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You can choose to purchase Isla an an individual size range (Original or Curve) OR in an economical bundle if you'd like all sizes on hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your pattern will be delivered instantly to your inbox after you check out, and from there, you can choose my easy-to-assemble print-at-home file or send the A0 file to a PrintShop and have them print it for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>The layers function is included in all pattern files, so you can turn on and off any number/combination of sizes your heart desires.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please share your makes with me on <b><a href="https://instagram.com/jenniferlaurenhandmade" target="_blank">Instagram</a></b>!

Fragmented and disorganised, with some sparkly, glittery bits sprinkled throughout, along with several doses of sharp pointy bits for good measure - just to make sure I was awake and paying attention. </p><p><br /></p><p>If I can take anything away from 2021 JLH Business-wise though, it's that I've laid some really good foundations for what 2022 will be. And those foundations should flow into other things, making life in general, a little more flowy...</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm summing this past year up as a ground-work, foundation-building year for all the fruit that 2022 will hopefully bear - while hopefully not putting too much pressure on the new year. I made that mistake with 2021 and have felt the disappointment of not living up to these plans throughout the entire year. </p><p><br /></p><p>As I said, this year didn't come to fruition as I had intended. I didn't release as many new patterns as I had hoped, I didn't re-release as many older patterns as I had planned. I didn't do as many tutorials as I had wanted, and I didn't do any Sew Alongs as intended. However, all of these things have either been planned/sketched/filmed/photographed/fitted/written etc to some extent this year, all culminating in what I hope will be a fruitful 2022. </p><p><br /></p><p>2022 has lots in store pattern release-wise - I have no less than three wrap dresses to drop, a free pattern that I hope will give you a glimpse into how JLH patterns fit if you've never made one of my patterns before. As well as my version of a relaxed yet glam lounge/PJ set and several re-releases of popular older patterns in my new sizings (Original 6-24 A to D cups and Curve 16-34 C to F cups).</p><p><br /></p><p>I'll be taking some time away over the next few weeks to gather myself up, recharge, and step into the new year with a little more knowledge, wisdom, and perspective than I had this time last year. I'll be dropping in and out until the end of January 2022, and will be back to full steam early February when school here in NZ goes back.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhn8jvGhMHDxctq7UygrmAAdlEUs6dw_skY3mZ7zavYOnR8N6B9s1fGkw-CrtXP3E9ToCj1bSJugaNxBXxAfzJlG7lXW3Sdxp-6sesMunmneR4iMdz1rwOLdt2w9PcN-kzu5px8XNzGof-Lg0E34iQSaT59y6dWTnr1rFyQ-dKraAidzd3L0B71vf2e=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p>I hope you're all able to take some time to rest and recuperate.

Ample seam allowances are included for you to use any type of zip you like, with no pattern adjustments necessary - simply insert your chosen zip however you usually would.</p><p><br /></p><p>The gentle rounded V neckline leads down to an exposed centre front zip with princess seam shaping over the bust for a smooth fit.

Drafted for a height of 170cm/5'7", the pant falls straight down from the hip, with the short ending mid-thigh and the long leg falling to just above the ground - meaning you can wear flats confidently, knowing you won't end up dragging the back of your jumpsuit hem on the ground.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Comfort comes first, with Farris sporting the same drawstring waistline as her sisters, the <a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-quincy-dress/" target="_blank">Quincy</a> & <a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-mayberry-dress/" target="_blank">Mayberry</a> dresses.

The Original includes sizes 6 to 24 with A to D cup bodices and the Curve includes sizes 16-34 with C to F cup bodices.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">The E+F Curve bodices are shaped with two parallel side bust darts to smoothly shape the bust, while the A to D cup bodices (across both size ranges) are shaped with a single bust dart.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Due to the style of Farris, if your hip size is more than one size bigger than your waist, you should size up in the waist as well in order to fit the garment over your hips. Any additional waist ease will be cinched in with the drawstring closure.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">The Curve pattern also includes <b>two back pant options</b>, Regular and Plus. If you generally find you need more room in the seam of your trousers, the Plus pant includes a higher back rise, a fuller curve over the buttocks and a longer crotch curve. More info is included in the pattern instructions.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: center;">PLUS, Extra Finished Garment Measurements included...</h3><div><br /></div><p style="text-align: left;">If you're worried about choosing a size, I've also included a whole bunch of additional Finished Garment Measurements. As well as the usual bust, waist and hips you'll find bicep circumference, to in-seam leg and crotch lengths to bodice length etc. Simply compare these measurements to a similar garment you already like the fit of (or one you know you'd like to alter) and you'll be surprised at how much for the hard stuff is already done.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">You can read about the <a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/size-guide/" target="_blank">new sizing here</a>.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>What about the Quincy and Mayberry Dress patterns in the Curve sizes?</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></p><p style="text-align: left;">They will be here for early 2021 and I promise will be worth the wait. I did try to get them ready for a release a bit closer to the Farris pattern being ready, but alas, they deserve the time and attention to get them right, rather than being rushed out the door when they're not quite ready. They'll be here soon...</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-farris-jumpsuit-playsuit/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi02Jw41JYSzTezo7xWta161ZdjqjjzhhHIE7jOImkpWsfx7TWM8ChkWiiZCXL-rnfoDRxQfqrD5zi2PTfDBQPD-S_R0arzcX0CrsPtcebUswU53XV-GUScAbt0Tz-va_uujBFZV-wztQ/w426-h640/Tatenda_Farris_Playsuit_Jumpsuit_WEB10.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-farris-jumpsuit-playsuit/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiasxywFZJUC_q3X60wLLaaZRa_pL_8ra7GUXYohaaQc58Sy46Y2hvW8USH1o37d5nElUK23fVdtZBM-0MH76oXUWm71lhN2vli_7S4haqP4phfExp3BjR4UsX_FMm9P_UUYyGO-AnSrqo/w426-h640/Jen_Farris_Playsuit_Jumpsuit_WEB9.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Fabric Options</h2><div><br /></div><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-farris-jumpsuit-playsuit/" target="_blank">The Farris Jumpsuit & Playsuit</a> is suitable for a wide range of lightweight woven fabric with some drape.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Rayon, silks, crepes and other slinky fabric suit Farris perfectly - Tatenda is wearing the Curve playsuit option in rayon.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">You can also choose any of your favourite fabrics from cotton lawn, voile and poplin to linen, chambray, denim and suitings, or even a pinwale corduroy (baby cord).

With both a regular and long-line bodice included, Esme can be worn tucked in or out for year-round comfort.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Shawl Collar variation looks great teamed with a pair of denim slacks or cropped pencil jeans for a retro Teddy Girl vibe. Alternatively, tuck a long-line V-necked Esme into your favourite high-waisted skirt for the perfect casual Marilyn look.</p><p><br /></p><p>The grown-on, 50s-style batwing sleeve can be worn short or extended (using the included Long Sleeve pattern piece) and Esme is perfect for colour and pattern blocking. Both the long and short sleeves include cuffed hemlines that are great for using up odd bits of knit scraps you have tucked away in your sewing room.</p><p><br /></p><p>Esme is easy to grade under the arm for a more exaggerated batwing sleeve if that's more your style. Look out for tutorials coming your way very soon.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Skill Level</b></h2><p><br /></p><p>Esme is designed for confident beginners through to advanced seamstresses. If you've never sewn with knits before, Esme could be the perfect project to dip your toes into the wonderful world of knits.</p><p><br /></p><p>With a special technique for getting the perfect squared off necklines, you'll be wondering why you didn't jump in ages ago.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-esme-top/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiGhrqBKP9bLFmgWPaH-3yVe4GwQ8OgkOVSjQfQ_F3xeu3n8C-Sk6fbArTHZeuHPoklEYs3a4lH8Ln1OAGvlsFr-3VCnAxMrxM-90V6UQRHdLSdVriZvDlhz5y4Ptc3Xb-3KSxFJsIxqA/w640-h428/Tatenda-Esme-Yellow-WEB10.jpg" width="640" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-esme-top/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinip55IN_bJd7Qp4keipoCZw69OD7Fp60TVx_tZ-tK6Ak3c8-nJAU8_DYG6jFsAj4IQfGhLdh4oWTsG9lrdUQIC0J8VL8AyQp_ND19E-cUDBBKFbiSKX91BwB1h2GNKdoFxCTdqop2Hmg/w426-h640/Jen-Esme-Stripe-WEB8.jpg" width="426" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-esme-top/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUWiR8H86xz2jwMWOlkZ9FeEV9vn4GAZZR2e9cHUK_MFEBBOeIgqP34EOtpBbqXyDdYWmhkjaf6nDm7-nUCL_w_DZ-xA7GEwsSFcV3Z6PwoUtxDT5XNfChat71VCVcaUvJEXEqLixfwQw/w426-h640/Tatenda-Esme-Stripe-WEB9.jpg" width="426" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-esme-top/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioG694mQ3mUQpjtJozkyh4ptYrP_YxKTX9ZhIk-EFRxAXwbZdFpoChOds5GwTEQk1amm8qu1a4FCZT0sEgaxE5vUXncKudC3pecgyaD_U9JTc8ucZLIzFQCTBySxLx5KMXkZzhyphenhyphencOiaHc/w640-h428/Jen-Esme-Green-WEB9.jpg" width="640" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-esme-top/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJaL2fjCu-WxiYGVTyPKnFQd7ua8-8SMycUFWYH7z6wPSWsnsdt6cx1zDF6w-z6yx9Gfe92KP40Q4Z3-86y3sDSCH_-6MkOXJw39hq1sLCi1E5bkQzZ-no4-rRGMECICZYUU42YZa3kn0/w426-h640/Tatenda-Esme-Yellow-WEB6.jpg" width="426" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Sizing</b></h2><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-esme-top/" target="_blank">The Esme Top</a> includes both the Original and Curve size ranges. The Original includes sizes 6 to 24 with integrated cup size bodices A+B and C+D. The Curve sizes include sizes 16-34 with integrated cup size bodices C+D and E+F. You can read about the new sizing here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Depending on the size range you choose and your cup size, Esme can have slight negative to slight positive ease at the bust, to zero/positive ease at the waist.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you're worried about choosing a size, I've also included a whole bunch of additional Finished Garment Measurements - simply compare these measurements to a knit top you already like the fit of (or one you know you'd like to alter) and you'll be surprised at how much of the hard stuff is already done.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: center;">Multiple Bust Cups: A to F</h3><p><br /></p><p>Due to the nature of knit fabrics and the gentle batwing sleeve, two cup sizes are integrated per front bodice - A+B and C+D Original, and C+D and E+F Curve. This gives a total of 4 front bodice pattern pieces to choose from (rather than 8 separated cups).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Fabric Options</b></h2><p><br /></p><p>Look for medium knit fabrics with good stretch across the grain. Knits should gave 40% stretch with good recovery.</p><p><br /></p><p>The long sleeved Esme works well in floppier/drapier knits with less structure. In this case, if using the shawl collar, you may wish to interface this to keep it looking crisp and staying upright during wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>All variations (bindings, shawl collar, long sleeve piece, cuffs) can be made with the same fabric as the body, or a contrasting fabric for colour and pattern blocking potential.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-esme-top/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpUTwUtsj7RAMai3ZB0IwJUhP0jxltegsvu9DlxtHG5h683E3YHRKwvgCEZxeZfT5TPLa7OXx8oyUo9VAp5i_ymAd27AbQhGoPt0Epj0CJ3CGlpWQ_MqRjOT861sBf-rQbE-4wKa3sIWs/w426-h640/Tatenda-Esme-Yellow-WEB8.jpg" width="426" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-esme-top/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIVYY69XjTaBXnDSNULzgIbY2HJjZMsANhiyv66idJc5nMkYCk4bcOsapJcYwcYMAjvXeycEz0Fne6KzNlzggFM4xgGMgwA6-n6pid8rBpUCeZJBT-G0-_sypylf3e4oHZO-iloahsSU4/w426-h640/Jen-Esme-Stripe-WEB9.jpg" width="426" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-esme-top/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr0uMFJtqC2l39mu-Z2-XRDuG4uihPlFPqxPfVwpCrTijnSMGj-eh9gzeKck6WH-2tES3Lmpcr4cEJnMb76ZwA7R2V6Y0ty42zJmIm12dTZs4MsRrcnf2m3ghDcdaDV3iMC0zufIvhD8s/w426-h640/Tatenda-Esme-Stripe-WEB8.jpg" width="426" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-esme-top/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhztjX4KL7PVHI6XPtXXkaBwS_bvLirfJ3dx6Xq2Xsw5yKzlHV0XhE4nt5EUDgYwIwSPHn5E3uIAcOTvITvFsjV2chtHhdejUML923VqkitWDQKAWMu9zFeRKwvwiKSLftVwmNExMBqHJs/w426-h640/Jen-Esme-Green-WEB5.jpg" width="426" /></a></p><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Meet the Models</b></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p>In the Meet the Models section on the <a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-esme-top/" target="_blank">Esme shop listing</a>, you can find model information like their measurements, the size and block (Original or Curve) they are wearing, as well as any pattern adjustments made to suit their individual bodes.</p><p><br /></p><p>A huge thank you to Tatenda for modelling the Curve 24E+F Esme tops. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Purchase your Esme Top!</h2><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://jenniferlaurenhandmade.store/product/the-esme-top/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="467" data-original-width="1000" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1AS3ntAe0M37hosmd9H-eNl10kmCpV9NqFhfhNes3XAg1Jd_xyS8vCfjLjeXLB-cYs15MvPSxKDUaGm9Q-ktJsxa9B2xzwowJe3yPwO-cr7Z4-nk-rgtYZhfjMI0lLV_8B7zLgi6UFSg/w640-h298/Blog-Esme-Purchase-Button.jpg" width="640" /></a></p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: center;">Digital Release Only</h3><p><br /></p><p>You will receive your pattern delivered instantly to your inbox upon check out.</p><p><br /></p><p>From there, you can choose my easy-to-assemble print-at-home file or you can send the A0 file to a Printshop and have them print it for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Layers Function is included in all pattern files, so you can turn on and off any number/combination of sizes your heart desires.
